I took it as an
invitation to go walking, which Koko and Paele gladly accepted.
We
hadn't gone far when wild pigs grunted a greeting (warning?) that got
the dogs all excited and as they
strained against their leashes a barn owl flew overhead, so low I could see its scalloped
feathers, its pale, heart-shaped face.
Good morning!
Good morning!
Pink
clouds, orange clouds, an explosion of color on the horizon.
Back
home, checked the bees, already hard at it, and then the nest a little shama thrush has made in a rather vulnerable spot that neither the
neighborhood cats nor my dogs have discovered.
Then
I checked email and found a link to a story about how Wisconsin sent
out a squad of nine wildlife agents and four deputy sheriffs to take
down a fawn at an animal shelter there, resulting in death threats against the Department of Natural Resources.
And
I was reminded of the comment that Beth-Ann Kozlovich
made when she interviewed me on HPR's “The Conversation” this past Monday about how federal laws had failed to prevent the
shabby treatment of a disabled 95-year-old woman living at Lihue Court.
“[W]here's the common sense?” Beth-Ann asked.
Exactly.

Just wondering if the Law of the Splintered Paddle has been broken with regard to the 92 year old woman at the Lihue Court Town Homes...?
